Cowboys signed RB Javarris Williams and WR David Little.

Williams, a 2009 seventh-rounder, looks better getting off the bus than he does on the field. Despite good speed and a 5'10/223 frame, he's already on his third NFL team and had been on the street since June. Little is a mere camp body while Miles Austin works through another hamstring tweak.

The Cowboys will work out RB Javarris Williams and WR David Little.

Williams was waived by Houston in June and has only six career carries to his name. Little is a 6'2/187 undrafted free agent out of Midwestern State. Both would be camp bodies. Sun, Aug 5, 2012 08:46:00 AM

A former seventh-round pick, Williams hasn't appeared in a game since 2009. Getting cut at this stage of the offseason suggests he's at the end of the line. Mon, Jun 4, 2012 09:17:00 AM

Texans signed RB Javarris Williams to a reserve/future contract.

Williams was with Houston in 2011 training camp. The former Chiefs seventh-round pick rushed for 80 yards on 10 preseason carries. He'll be a long shot to replace free agent Derrick Ward as the Texans' third-string back in 2012. Mon, Jan 16, 2012 04:09:00 PM

Williams was with Houston in 2011 training camp. The former Chiefs seventh-round pick rushed for 80 yards on 10 preseason carries. He'll be a long shot to replace free agent Derrick Ward as the Texans' third-string back in 2012.

Williams, a Houston native, was signed to add depth with three running backs nursing hamstring injuries. Darling, out of the league in 2010, is also merely a camp body with several receivers banged up.

Chiefs RB Javarris Williams was running with the fourth or fifth team during OTAs.

The 2009 seventh-round pick appears to be on the outside of the Chiefs' roster looking in right now even though Kolby Smith is gone. He'll have to beat out Kestahn Moore, who raised some eyebrows at offseason practices, and Jackie Battle, who beat him out last year.

Williams, a seventh-round rookie out of Tennessee State, has an intriguing speed/size combination, but didn't look remotely NFL-ready in the preseason. He'll back up Jamaal Charles until Dantrell Savage gets healthy.

Chiefs signed seventh-round RB Javarris Williams to a multi-year contract.

Williams attended Tennessee State, earning Ohio Valley Offensive POY honors despite missing his last two games with a bad hammy. He's a poor man's Larry Johnson at 5'10/223 with 4.52 wheels, but probably won't see the field much this year with L.J. and Jamaal Charles ahead of him.

Williams is struggling with blitz pickup, which is always a hurdle for rookies. "At Tennessee State it was a lot more simple," he admitted. He's in the mix with Kolby Smith and Dantrell Savage to be the team's No. 3 back.

Williams has a nice speed-size combo (5'10/219, 4.52), but played behind one of the best lines in TSU history and his production surprisingly slipped as a senior. He's probably not the answer if K.C. releases Larry Johnson.
